Marie Tharp

Continuing our annual theme of celebrating trailblazing women in the maritime sector on International Womens Day, today we recognise Marie Tharp.

With an interest in cartography from a young age she never considered it as a career as it was considered ’men’s work’.

Fortunately, she didn’t let that stop her.
